Good morning all,

 

Pleae check out this great opportunity to learn about the justice system in this country. Did you know that there are more African Americans now in prison than the days of slavery? Interesting facts like this will open your eyes to the complex system.

 

Come learn more and please post at your sites.

 

Thanks!

 

Shukri.

Has mass incarceration become the “new Jim Crow”? Much of the discrimination that was legal in the Jim Crow era is still perfectly legal when applied to "criminals.” People of color are being targeted at significantly higher rates for stops, searches, arrests, prosecution, and harsher sentences. So, where does that leave criminal justice? In this film, people on many sides of the criminal justice system explore a topic often walled-off from public scrutiny.
